The M1 by Intense Cycles was one of the first DH bikes to break the 5” rear travel mark back in the 90s, a feat unheard of until until 1994. The first M-1 used a McPerson strut and air shock design, which made it possible for the extra travel. To put it in perspective, there weren’t even forks with over 3” of travel. As you’ve probably guessed by now, the M series by Intense was breaking some serious ground. I won’t go into much more detail though, ‘cause the guys over at PinkBike have this story on lock.

This is the absolute best video I’ve seen in ages. I really mean that. This reminds be of being a little runt, stealing my dad’s shovels and building jump lines in my woods as a child on a 16″ coaster bike. This kid Malcom is only 4 years old and so excited to be shredding with his father. I recommend watching this whole thing, the kid’s remarks are amazing.”I did it!”

Start your day off with an intense downhill video, though I’d suggest adding your own music (sorry, I just strongly dislike dubstep). There’s some incredible riding and editing in the new GT Factory Downhill Team video.
